Abstract
Hot carriers play a significant role in applications of photovoltaics, photodetection, and photocatalysis. However, effective methods for observing the ultrafast dynamic processes of hot carriers are concentrated on the time domain, on which it is difficult and complex to operate. We propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, and creative strategy to convert the time-domain dynamic process into a spatially thermal redistribution in suspended carbon nanotube fibers. The large average free path of photoinduced hot holes ensures a prominent offset of temperature distribution. The experimental results confirm the theory about electrically driven transport of hot holes, which has rarely been reported.
